I apologize for assuming too much - I didn't mean to point fingers  
here...

It's not frequent, but here is one that I saw:

20090923_risk.log:17226|03619|  0.000039|3| 3| 6|1292|PendingSubmit| 
100000|350000|0.899400|1095302502|0|0.899400|8|

but didn't make it into the Journals - I think your fix will take care  
of this.

When I grep'ed my risk log files, I couldn't find any Pending or  
Partials.  Now, I'm hammering IB/Shim pretty hard - on the order of  
hundreds of submits and cancels a day.  I am hoping to cover most  
states, but I have no idea if one day, Pending or Partial would show  
up or not.

Yes!  I would be interested in that commission information, if the  
upstream has actually filled out the field.  For now, I have an GUI- 
automated kludge that pulls down trades (CSVs) from TWS.
